Su Ruyi didn't know that in the hearts of the Lu family, she was a vicious woman who was deliberately trying to make money and kill people.
But she believed that Lu Duotian would do his best to take good care of Dan'er, so she dared to go out boldly.
She went out for two purposes.
The first is to go to the carpenter in the village and ask how much it would cost to build a wheelchair. If the only man in the family is dragged on the ground every day, no matter how mentally strong a man is, he will gradually lose his dignity.
Secondly, if you walk around for a while, your mind will become more flexible, and maybe you can come across a way to make money?
Xinghua Village is a small village, with a total of more than a dozen households living there. Each household has about ten people, and the whole village has about 200 people.
There are two men in each family, and there are dozens of young and middle-aged people missing in the village. The feeling is still very different, and it always feels like it is not as lively as before.
Su Ruyi walked in the middle of a waist-deep path mixed with weeds, breathing in the fresh air with an earthy smell. She lamented that when there was no industrial pollution, the air was indeed fragrant.
While looking at the scattered rural courtyards, they were low and dilapidated.
To sympathize with the hardship of life here, I also saw someone’s rooster standing on the wall and pacing leisurely, looking like a peaceful world.
This village has good scenery and good water. Although productivity is low in this era, in the past years when the second and third sons of the Lu family were here, the family could still eat well and wear good clothes. Longer ago, when Zhang's husband was still alive, the third son of the Lu family was still alive. He also went to school for a few years, so he was named Lu Shitu by his husband, which was different from other children.
Su Ruyi believed that as long as the Lu family worked together, they would be able to live a good life.
As long as we are united.
She looked at the weeds on the roadside. It was great to have the memory of two people. You could tell whether the unknown weeds on the roadside were edible at a glance.
I used to think it was a weed, but now I realized it was also a wild vegetable.
He squatted down and uprooted the wild vegetables, shook off the mud, and took them to the carpenter's house.
The carpenter's family name is Li. He is one of the most capable people in the village. His good craftsmanship is envied by everyone in the village. Most of the tables, chairs, benches, beds and cabinets in the village are made by the Li family.
When Su Ruyi arrived, the Li family's courtyard door was open, and Old Man Li was sitting in the courtyard, fixing the lame stool.
The yard is about the same size as the Lu family's yard. It looks quite messy, with wood piled everywhere, but it always feels more energetic than the Lu family's yard.
Su Ruyi stood at the door and said hello: "Uncle Li, are you at home alone? I brought two nests of wild vegetables to your family. Let's put them in the porridge pot at night."
Old Man Li raised his head: "..."
I wonder about your two nests of wild vegetables?
Didn't this vicious daughter-in-law break her head in a fight with her mother-in-law? Why did she not lie down at home and come to their house?
Old Man Li glanced at it, ignored it, and concentrated on his work.
Su Ruyi took a handful of wild vegetables plucked from the roadside and entered the yard. She put the wild vegetables on the table and walked to the old man to watch him work.
"Uncle Li, how much does it cost to buy a chair here?"
Old Man Li was wondering, why did this woman ask about the chair? Can chairs harm people?
He always felt that whatever Su Ruyi did was to harm others.
It's no wonder that he thinks this way. All the news about Su Ruyi is about how she harmed the Lu family, and there is no news that she has done any good things for the Lu family.
But since people asked, he responded smoothly: "It depends on what kind of chair you make. Different chairs have different prices."
“I’m going to make a chair with wheels.”
Old Man Li frowned and looked up at her. It turned out that she was here to tease him. A chair with wheels?
Is that a chair?
Su Ruyi could see that the old man was unhappy, and guessed that wheelchairs might not exist in this era, and if they did exist, they might not have spread to a small place like Xinghua Village.
Then he explained with a smile: "Uncle Li, if there is no such thing, just make one for me. You also know that my eldest brother has inconvenient legs. I thought about having such a thing, he would sit on the chair and turn it with his hands. Once the wheels are turned, wouldn't this chair be able to move like a car? No matter what else, at least it's okay to take a spin in the yard and bask in the sun, right? "
After all, Carpenter Li has been an old carpenter all his life. When others briefly described it and then told it the purpose, he immediately had a rough idea in his mind. I couldn't help but feel happy, this evil woman had a good idea!
But she stared at Su Ruyi with squinting eyes. How could she be so thoughtful about doing something good for Lu's eldest son?
Didn't it mean that Lu's eldest son was scolded by this woman like a turtle grandson?
Old Man Li and Su Ruyi had little contact, mainly because he was of the same generation as Mr. Zhang, and the last thing he wanted to hear was someone being unfilial, for fear that his son and wife would learn bad things.
Besides, before Lao Lu died, they still had some friendship.
Anyway, Old Man Li hates this little wife so much that he doesn't even want to take another look at her.
Su Ruyi guessed from the other party's eyes and expression that she was not welcome, and still smiled: "Uncle Li, just think of a way. We can easily discuss the money. Why don't you just give us a price first, and we can collect it when we go back?" One piece."
"One tael of silver."
The old man said casually.
Su Ruyi was shocked, one tael of silver was so expensive.
However, if someone makes something that has never been made before, it will definitely not go smoothly in the middle, and various improvements will need to be made. One tael of silver is not expensive, but it can be said to be very cheap.
Su Ruyi nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my mother and sister-in-law. It may take a while to get it all together. Uncle Li, please help me think about it in your mind first, and then you can start the project when we get enough money."
After she finished speaking, she left the Li family.
Old Man Li looked at the door of the courtyard and shook his head.
Fortunately, their family did not have such a daughter-in-law, which would be a fatal disaster.
As for the little wife's talk about using a wheelchair, he didn't believe it at all.
In the Lu family's situation, if they could survive this winter, Zhang would be considered very capable.
Poor!
Su Ruyi, who was walking back, was thinking about how to make money.
After all, I still need to do some business. After all, there is no other way to get money. It is definitely not realistic to wait for the family's food to be sold. I won't have enough to eat.
Then what else can she sell, mountain goods?
Most of what can be obtained in the mountains are wild vegetables and mushrooms. In the past, when Lu Duotian's legs were good, he could still get some wild animals. He could cook them for his family or sell them as a way to make money.
But this channel is now closed, and we have to find another way.
Mushrooms are still easy to sell in the market, but these things tend to pop up after rain, so you don’t usually see them.
After it rained, every household went up to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Even if they were spread out, each household wouldn't be able to pick much. If they were sold in the town for a hundred and eighty cents, it would be considered a big harvest.
Then sell some processed food. After all, she has traveled through time in modern times, and she is still good at eating.
But she doesn't have a single coin on hand right now, so there's no way she can ask Mr. Zhang for money without even thinking about it.
There are almost zero raw materials that can be used at home...
You also need to use your brain to think carefully.
